The size of trucks varies greatly, smaller almost car like trucks up to custom built specialised cargo hauling trucks.
Trucks are made up of 4 main sections, this guide aims to run through briefly about each one.
1. Cab: The cab is where the driver is seated, it is an enclosed space. Some trucks have a space behind the cab where the driver can rest while not driving, this is called the sleeper. 3 types of cab design exist, these are Cab Over Engine (COE), Cab Beside Engine (CBE) and Conventional cabs.
